up to my head in…
Some of you may be wondering what the mudphudder is up to and some of you may not have even noticed no new posts in the last week. I’ve now hit full-blown moving mode–packing stuff, selling stuff and storing stuff. It’s brutal. I’m hot, tired and sweaty. And tonight, I’m being dragged to a party by a certain someone in about an hour. No rest for the weary.
As an update, I had one article that was published about a month finally show up on pubmed. Instantly I received a number of questions and requests regarding the work. So it is good to be indexed on pubmed. Also, I had one manuscript rejected. It was the kind of review, I’d call a “smackdown”. Which is weird, considering we were invited to submit the manuscript to that journal. Whatever.
Now, I’m stuck with two other manuscripts that I’m trying to finish before I move in a couple of weeks. It’s gonna be tight. And the last thing I need is a fucking party to go to right now. But what are you gonna do?
Sorry about the lack of posts recently–I haven’t fallen off the face of the planet. Please bear/bare (however the fuck you spell it) with me as I get through this.

we will “bear” with you. and that’s how you spell it, just in case you wanted to know-otherwise ignore this sentence and carry on with your smackdown. i wish you a swift and easy move. i’m in the same moving craphole and i agree with you it SUCKS. hang in there, once it’s all said and done it’ll be awesome and meanwhile you get an awesome daily workout carrying crap.

Ladyfoot: Thx for the pep-talk. It’s moving along and things are falling into place. I’m just waiting for the next bump in the road.
Txcane: Hells yeah. That’s exactly what I’m doing. But it’s still a bitch to have to get rid of this shit. Either I gotta lug it to the goodwill or sell it. Do you need a dresser?

Two words for furniture: Salvation Army. If you’ve got a local store, they’ll usually come by for pickup. Alternatively, put it up on craiglist. It’s a bitch to sell on craigslist (no shows, grrrr), but if you say something like “selling for 20$ to the first person who gets here”, you should do alright.
And if you live in a really run-down part of town, just put it on the street corner. Got rid of a table in 30 minutes that way once haha.
